arthropathy
Diseased articulation condition
Arthropathy is any disease or disorder affecting a joint.
The term is medical and general—it doesn't specify a cause, covering conditions from arthritis to gout to joint damage from injury or infection: The X-ray revealed arthropathy in both knees.
Specific types are named by cause or location: diabetic arthropathy, neuropathic arthropathy.
